PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil (ANG) was developed to
deliver unsurpassed performance in natural gas engines calling
for an SAE 40, low-ash (<.50%) lubricant.
Performance Without Compromise
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil’s low-ash formulation
minimizes combustion chamber deposit formation, critical in
continuous operation applications. AMSOIL ANG also significantly
reduces valve recession, a common problem with other low-ash
oils. AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is thermally
stable, allowing it to combat oxidation, oil degradation and
internal deposit formation.
Maintains
Viscosity
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil is a true straight-grade SAE 40
oil, offering maximum protection against viscosity loss while
minimizing internal oil consumption. Field studies have reported
up to a 50 percent reduction in internal oil consumption when
compared to competitive oils. Due to its synthetic formulation,
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil does not thicken as readily and
qualifies as a multi-grade SAE 20W-40 oil without the
disadvantages that come with the use of viscosity improvers.
This allows the oil to be used over a broader ambient
temperature range and in many cases eliminates the need for a
conventional multi-grade product.
Extended
Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil may be used for extended drain
intervals when monitored by an oil analysis program. Periodic
oil analysis should be conducted at the engine manufacturer’s
recommended drain intervals. Change the oil filter at the
recommended engine manufacturer’s drain intervals.
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Natural Gas Engine Oil is compatible with
conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic lubricants;
however, mixing AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil with a petroleum
oil will reduce the drain interval of the AMSOIL Natural Gas
Engine Oil. Engine oil additives or after-market products are
not recommended for use with AMSOIL Natural Gas Engine Oil.
